The municipal sewage sludge with ZnCl2 activation was pyrolysed to obtain useful porous adsorbents. The thermogravimetric analysis and FTIR methods were used to work out the properties of dried sewage sludge with ZnCl2 activation from the Changsha secondary wastewater-treatment plant. The experimental results showed that three stages of weight loss were observed under the heating rates of 15°C/min and 30°C/min, respectively. And combined with the FTIR, CO2 and H2O appeared at every stage. The experimental data were processed through differential coefficient methods and the different mechanical equations of pyrolysis reaction, and gained the kinetic parameters. The results can be academic references for the pyrolysis of sewage sludge in practice.

Surface-modified magnetic Ni2.33Fe alloy nanoparticles were prepared using a hydrothermal method. Thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) tests demonstrated that the surface was successfully modified by sodium citrate. The surface-modified particles can be used for removing nickel ions from aqueous solution. The adsorption kinetics studies were performed and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model successfully described the kinetic data. The diffusion model indicated the...

A route for the formation of carboxyl-introduced chitosan (CI-CS) with C2 amine groups protected (CIAP-CS) was investigated to improve copper (II) adsorption. First, the C2 amine groups of the chitosan (CS) were protected via a Schiff-base reaction by benzaldehyde. Then the product was obtained by the introduction of pyromellitic dianhydride to the C6 hydroxyl groups on CS via epichlorohydrin. The last product was obtained by removing the Schiff base with dilute hydrochloride solution. CI-CS without C2 amine...
